This is a post for @dswigle Market Friday Challenge and for this week I am again featuring some shops or restaurants here in Downtown Milford CT.

Starting this post with the place we used to go to a lot the Cafe Atlantique, a quaint little cafe not to big and with a simple selection of food but always very well prepared and such a nice atmosphere there it was the place personally liked the most as I am not really into crowded and noisy places.

The Cafe Atlantique has a featured local artist or photographer who has there work on display for a month at a time, I was fortunate to have mine on display there for one month for a few years, the last year or two I took a break but I may consider doing it again one year.

The Cafe also has local musicians play on Friday and Saturday evenings and we used to enjoy catching many of them, my Wife even sang a few times there, sometimes with a set or two of her own or invited to join for a song with other musicians or bands, its a pity she doesn't feel up to singing anymore but I do hope one day she will get back into singing,

Now that myself and my wife do not drink and because of my wife's health and dietary issues we do not go out to much these days but if we did want tog out for a quiet evening the Cafe would be our choice.

The Second place I will show in this post is Lasses Restaurant it has been around for ages from what I have heard and it has a charming atmosphere, the sign says famous Roast Beef and I had to try that and I must say it was pretty good.

And just to show that we not all unique and only in MIlford places to Eat we do have the fast food chains including Wendys :)

As always the colors have come out really well and make the images look so beautiful. I have never tried roasted beef, curious how it tastes.

[tattoodjay]

I don’t often have Roast Beef but I must say it was real good from there

[dswigle]

Superb shots of the hometown bistros, JJ! The first place looks like someplace I would like to grab a bite at. There is something about going to a place where everybody knows your name. :)

I do miss that about Connecticut. I can still go back home and go into stores, and It is like i never left. It feels warm and fuzzy. It is bigger and a bit more superficial here. But, well, you know. It's the job.

I had no idea Lulu sang! How cool is that? I hope she begins to feel herself and gets back to that place in her life.

I love roast beef, especially if I cook it low and slow! I don't even need a knife then, it just kind of peels off and is such a delightfully juicy piece of meat.

It is funny you should mention Wendy's. In Connecticut, there were really no fast food places in the 80's Very few anyway. Althought they had places like Dutchess hambergers and that was the fast food, although to this day, it is one of the first places I stop at. They still cool them on the grill. just like you are supposed to.

Awesome post! Thank you again! Happy #MarketFriday!

Upped and steemed tip!

[tattoodjay]

I don’t do fast food mush at all well other than subway occasionally but it started here lol

I have never tried Duchess maybe I should

[dswigle]

I think you should give it one try! ;) I am off on vacation! See you when I get back!

[tattoodjay]

I have it in my list to visit someday

[olivia7]

Interesting post.

[dawnsheree]

They all look cozy and pretty. As far as I know I haven't tried roasted beef. Im curious how that tastes. ^^

[tattoodjay]

I did not often have Roast Beef butbit s nice for something different if it’s well done

Some great photos to enjoy of these stores, I know of Wendy's but I think that is just from watching films. The coffee shop is quite a different sort of building, and the sky in the second photo is incredibly blue! Another great market Friday thank you.

I feel the Wendy's joke was in poor taste.

[tattoodjay]

Fair enough

[mcsamm]

and you do have eyes for beauty..nice photography @tattoodjay

[tattoodjay]

Thanks kindly

[maruharraca]

I lie the first photography, Cafe Atlantique, the little house is so cute. I like the big windows and the porch, and the fact that is sitting jus in the corner!
Thanks for sharing!

[tattoodjay]

It’s such a sweet little place and the owner Tina is such a caring person we became good friends with her

[hollyup]

That first one looks like it could be a postcard! These are all really well done. Thanks for creating the #funkyedits tag - I just made my first one today, too. Nice to "meet" you.

[tattoodjay]

Thanks for the visit and off to check your post I go 😎

[molometer]

The first two buildings would look right at home anywhere in the UK. The design of the second building is influenced by the British country pub.
Wendy's is my favorite burger joint but they seem to have disappeared from the UK?
Connecticut is a beautiful state by the look of things. I'll have to visit on my next trip over the pond.

[tattoodjay]

A lot here has an English feel but as it’s part on New England that’s to be expected lol

It is well worth visiting I do believe

[chelsea88]

You have a Wendy's?? Amazing! Lol. More seriously, the first place does sound nice and who doesn't love a little Wendy's now and again?
PS Just started using the #funkyedits and it's fun!

[tattoodjay]

Cool your joining funkyedits 😎👍😎

I don’t think I have had Wendy’s for about 5 years

[nolasco]

This must be an amazing place! Go go with your photo exhibition! Then show us the gallery!

[tattoodjay]

I was thinking about it she was booked out two years in advance last time I spoke to her and I may we’ll be moving before then

[nolasco]

2 years, wow! Are you leaving, my friend?

[tattoodjay]

Staying in the States but most likely will move out of CT and closer to family in MA

[nolasco]

Oh, that will be better for sure!

[tattoodjay]

Indeed the grandkids were so upset when they had to leave this morning

[nolasco]

I can imagine :'(

[michellereneekid]

I love these journeys of your city, you take us on, thank you for that!

[tattoodjay]

Always my pleasure

[helena-m]

The architecture of the buildings and Wendy's :) reminded me of the town were I grew up in California. Aww!! Nostalgia!!

[tattoodjay]

It’s not to far from Westport I pass through Westport on the train each day

[hangin]

Always nice to go back to a place where you have had good times it always relaxes the mind hope you and your wife can get back there again some day singing is a great thing for the body and soul :))

[tattoodjay]

I hope one day her health settles and she gets back into it one day

[hangin]

[debralee]

What an adorable place! Even the Wendy's is cute. :D

I had my 1st job at that restaurant. I learned quickly that fast food was not the place I wanted to work. lol

[tattoodjay]
